JSR Watch: Java Mobile and Embedded Spotlight
The majority of the JSRs that have been active in the past few weeks are in the mobile space

As I recently spoke at the Java Mobile & Embedded Developer Days conference at Sun's Santa Clara campus, and the yearly Mobile World Congress conference is held in Barcelona in February, and the majority of the JSRs that have been active in the past few weeks are in the mobile space, I thought it would be opportune to focus on Java ME in this month's column.

First, the Developer Days conference. (Quick summary of my presentation: standards are really important and you ignore them at your peril.) It was lively and informative - the first such conference organized by Sun's Mobile and Embedded developer outreach team (http://community.java.net/mobileandembedded/) but hopefully not the last.

He told the assembled multitude that our team would be delivering a new GUI toolkit in just 90 days. Although we'd been working on what was called a 'lightweight toolkit' for some time, he hadn't bothered to mention the new project deadline to us. Until that moment. If there'd been enough room, we would have all fallen off our chairs.
